John Barleycorn Must Die: The War Against Drink In Arkansas
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Ben Johnson's sweeping, highly readable and "spirited" overview of Arkansas's efforts to regulate and halt the consumption of alcohol reveals much about the texture of life and politics in the state--and country--as it grappled with strong opinions on both sides.
"Johnson is an indefatigable researcher, tenacious in ferreting out the details. His study of the war against demon rum is fascinating. . . . This book doesn't take a position 'fer or agin' spiritous liquor, but it does help the reader to understand that, in earlier times, opposition to the sale and consumption was deep and wide."--from the Foreword by U.S. District Judge William R. Wilson
